Tip: If you get into the momentum, don't stop for anything. When you're really into the writing you can crank 3K words pretty easily. That'll make up for the days you can't seem to write much at all. Ride the waves.

You can do it!(This from someone who is behind, too!)Having said that, I signed up for NaNo to get my butt in gear and I've already written more words and had better ideas than in October--so it's certainly progress!Good luck! It's all about putting yourself in the chair--and staying there!

In from vox, I'm anactoria. I'm behind with good excuses too: computer crash at work, water leak in flat, having to move for the weekend... But you are right: it's a priority or it isn't. So, during the laundry marathon I'll have nothing else to do but catch up. I'm also eschewing the gallery show tonight to prioritise properly. Your page here has some great resources, so I had to drop in to say hello, thanks, and good luck! ^_^

That's the spirit, Nienke! Once you get into the flow, 2000+ words per day isnt't that bad, and one key is to keep writing when you're in the flow. That can make up for several mediocre days. (Shhh. We aren't talking about the sometime challenges of getting into the flow.)

But, really, as you say, any words are more than no words, so keep writin' 'em.
